Default why in the world is my VAG-COM/LEMMI prog. not able to read ECU?

I still haven't figured out why i'm getting this "timed out" error from my vag-com... would recycling the ECU do anything?

Default strange observation with my ECUx.

If I try to start logging from the graph screen, it almost always works. If I start from the gauge screen then it almost always does not work. Most of the time I restart windows. And if you reinstall the software you will need a new reg key from APR. Getting the key for that install would be difficult.

Default Any codes? I know mine would not hook up with a bad ABS controller.

I unplugged the controller, and it worked just fine.

Default well yes!! my ABS controller is toast!! hmm....

but why would that not let vag-com connect to the ECU... same result with lemmiwinks as well.
I'll try unplugging the ABS module and see what happens.

thx

It's your ABS controller. Try connecting with the ignition OFF.
